Jennifer Heater publishes article

Jennifer Heater, a technical communications major, has had her article "Words or Visuals: Which Speaks Louder?" published in XChanges, an online journal of undergraduate and graduate student research published by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. 

 

Jennifer's article began as a research project in Dr. Adkins' ETC 421 class and suggests how an understanding of visual semiotics can help technical communicators.

 

Congratulations to Jennifer on this great accomplishment!
